'Thinking Head' by Lara Favaretto

Nottingham Contemporary 2017

Clouds rise from the roof of Nottingham Contemporary. On some days these clouds will be intense; on others, barely visible. Completely uncontrolled by the artist, the mist will move in shifting patterns – forming plumes, wisps, complex shapes.

The museum is turned into a 'thinking machine'. The intensity of the clouds above will correspond to the intensity of the thinking happening inside. On dull days, there will be little fog. At certain moments, it might be billowing.
